1816 the year without summer: Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s experience.
LOCATION
SPEAKER: Dr Dennis Wheeler, University of Durham.
The weather diaries of James Losh provide an overlooked but fascinating insight into this remarkable year as it was witnessed in Newcastle. This presentation reviews the written and instrumental accounts of the time and sets the 1816 record against that for more recent years in the City.
NOTE: This meeting will place in the Williamson Library, St Chads College.
This meeting is part of the Royal Meteorological Society Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate. Non members are welcome to attend these meetings.
